IS UNDERGLOW LEGAL? 

Hey guys just FYI this was just based on my experience I would print out vehicle code 25400 and 24003 and keep them in your car, 25400 states its legal and 24003 insures its illegal to have interior lighting only and most cops write you a ticket for the wrong light code, keep them both in your car and if you get pulled over show them those codes or fight it in court, hope this helps you guys out :)

damn we can't run it in a military base?!?! ruined my saturday

Here's the thing. Even if you think it's not illegal and you are in full compliance with the law all it takes is one crazy cop to see it and pull you over and start tripping. That's what's screwed up about this country.

Why does it matter if you use the colors that emergency vehicles use? Are people really that stupid that they will actually think a normal civilians car is an emergency vehicle? Sounds like just another excuse to give you a ticket.

Red, blue and white is legal in driveway and garage. God bless Amaerica😂

omg i love what you did with the car man. really is a working progress i still remember when you you hardly had any modifications

one additional thing to add to his points: in many states, the lighting has to be diffused in order to be legal (meaning, the actual bulb itself cannot be seen while illuminated, just the glow effect from the bulb should be visible in the ground). Red and blue are illegal pretty much everywhere for obvious reasons but white is legal in several states. Check your states law to make sure, theres a section for neons.

Ah good, I want purple and good to know, I'm not by any base :D thanks for this bro! I needed this!

I have red underglow and live in Cali in my matte black celica and gotten a ticket for it, underglow is dope as shit but just make sure it can change colors to make it Legal and not have solid red like I did haha..... Great Vid man cool to see more underglow fellows here in Cali

See this is why I won't do it cuz I'd want to run blue =P

You know the other day I went to my local community college for freshmen matriculation and saw AJs BRZ but I didn't know who he was at the time. It's really cool that he goes where I'm gonna go next year

Maaaannn, really wanted to get into the holiday spirit with some red and green Christmas lights 😂

Nice vid man the edits are pretty dope

Keep it up with the vids!!

I'm late to the party lol, thanks for posting man, really helps me out. Been running blue on only the sides (no front and back just to avoid that hassle all together) of my s10 for the passed year and a half and just put a kit on my 04 330ci. I run green for Christmas, but heads up to all, Alameda California didn't approve :(, but CHP saw them and said cool :). And wicked car dude!!! I'm jealous

I didn't know that about underglow. Nice video man

I live in Florida and a cop told me yesterday that I can only run my rock lights and halos on white or amber when I’m driving

Damn never knew. Love your FRS

In Indiana its red, blue, and Amber. Colors vary by state. It can all be found on the BMV website

Hmm I always thought you couldn't run under glow while driving, that's something new haha. I'll consider it

Excellent video Aj shout out

For those seeing this in 2020, you CAN run Red/White/Blue as long as it's not visible from the FRONT of the vehicle. The lights still cannot be flashing/strobing/breathing/fading in & out, etc. The lights also cannot be within 12 inches of your operating lights (Headlights, Tail Lights, Turn Signals, etc.).

are the neon lights illegal in front and back is that why you only have it like that?

A video on all the mods/add ons u have on the BRZ in the future?

I drove with mine on green but the cops still stopped me and told me it’s illegal.

i have ran Red white and blue. I run it on the 4th of july. Also ran red and white for Christmas along with green.

It is Legal in Quebec and Ontario(Canada)also, I don't know about the rest of the provinces. It is even given as an example of a legal lighting modification on a vh. Here you can have even red, blue, but not flashing red or blue lights. Is it legal in every state in the US, or it depends on the state?

Its legal if the light only turn on whenever i open the door? I live in MA

How about led lights underneath seats? Specifically in the state of missouri. I can't find shit on if it's legal or not

Here in Arkansas you can’t run under glow in public roads. You also can’t have any red blue or green lights

I have a green H2 Hummer I was running my green lights, the officer gave me a fix-it ticket, initially he asked if the car was mine. I looked at him and replied, ''excuse me''! He then requested license registration and insurance and yes I had them. He then asked my to sign it and drive safe. Note there was no violation type code on this ticket he asked me to have another officer sign off on it before May 30, 2019. I'm still unsure?

I live in a state where pink underglow is legal. I was planning on installing it on my car. Are cops just going to claim it's red and ticket me?

Awesome video! I have been wanting to add underglow to 17 WRX. White would be awesome since it's crystal white pearl. Buttttt I think yellow may be best. I just absolutely hate wiring.

In Oregon it states no red visible from front, and no blue. No flashing. What I’m curious about is the breathing effect. Where it stays one color, but gets brighter and darker at a slow speed. Not flashing, but I’d be curious to hear what law enforcement says about that effect.

Idk if it's legal or not I never saw people have underglow lights on there car but awesome vid bro keep it up

I got front window tint which is definitely illegal here in South Los Angeles and also I've done all the above and haven't been bumped yet "pulled over" lucky me I guess 🤷🏽‍♂️. Blinking blue. Solid red and blinking white, many times! Cops right on the side of me and wasn't sure of the technicalities till now 🤦‍♂️ now imma be looking over my shoulder with remote in hand definitely! But that's for the vid 💯 it really helped and probably saved me from a ticket. One question tho.... Is it a fix it ticket meaning I would have to take my lights off?

Thank you so much, I understand now.

Can you run green lights at night in CA 2019?

hahaha I just got 4 strong flashing blue lights... Good I saw this video before installing them....

I drive a black car and have red underglow but I only do have it on during the long winter nights in Alaska were I can turn them off and disappear

What about fading color change? Is that technically flashing lights? I run purple/green/amber but I been wanting to use my rainbow slow fade mode lol

Whats the law for arizona? Clould the lights be changing color with out flashing? What codes or papers can i print out to keep in my car if a cop pulls me over?

When I heard no blue I was like Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Blue is the best one... :p

when your car is red :(

I ran neons on my Focus at Fort Benning back in 07-08 and it was not an issue.

Is it illegal to use rock lights in fog light area?

what is the proper name of flashing and which one is the brightest in the country?

Is underglow legal in Texas?

What about if you have red or blue on under your dash or under your seats? Is that legal or no?

What if you did a color similar to blue, like aqua, teal, or turquoise? I would think it’s legal because it’s technically not blue.

Damn thx for the video bro

Vehicle code 25400 clearly states the color red cannot be ran at the front of the vehicle but any other colors are considered to be legal. As for not being able to run any of the colors on the American flag, I believe that's just the generally run of thumb for avoiding confrontation with law enforcement personnel completely. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a charger scat pack, i have the outer ring of the head lights that turn different colors, i usually keep it green, but my head lights stay the normal color. Im from cali, is this legal?

what about smooth transitions into different colors not really flashing or days that count as flashing

Can we run black color? I think that's the best color

Does this go the same for fog lights?

Can you run it on 200 hp cars?

Got pulled for purple, sucks too bc where I’m at the law isn’t clear on what can be done

Can I do sky blue or all of blues are not allowed?

idk if it’s a cali thing but you can run red white and blue as long as they aren’t flashing, flashing all colors at the same time or have them solid at the same time. SAME TIME is illegal where i live

I read an article that said Blue and White are 100% illegal but that Red is legal but only on the sides of the car, not on the front or back.

What about cyan/teal!?!? I run that all the time and recently got pulled over soooo I wasn’t sure if it was a cop that didn’t know his stuff or what

Also the brightness too they have to be within 2 candle power lol 😂

I got pulled over for have under glow light on and told me I can’t have them on and got a fix ticket

I run solid white in AZ. Cops have told me that it is okay and I've never had any issues.

you can do red white and blue, just not in motion.

What about ice blue color which is sort of a combination of white and blue?

If your parked can you flash?

How about Flashing Blue LED Valve Stem Lights?

How about white underglow in Las Vegas?

I ran blue for 6 months in Texas, so far so good.

What about changing colors or pulsating, not flashing?

Can u have the lights changing color while parked

I'm in Dallas Tx here you can run any color but not have them flashing.

I think if your ride is parked say at a cars and coffee event or car show it's most likely ok to have strobing and flashing lights there's not really a problem using white color just don't use that color while driving

What about in Denmark?

how about going purple and green then back

bookmarked. gonna send my friends this video whenever they start telling me my shit's illegal lol.

It’s legal in New Mexico as long as there is no red showing from the front of the vehicle, and no flashing

a lot of cops will say that purple looks blue. so id say it is legal but they will say its blue and give a ticket

Where did you buy your lights?

In Maine I'm pretty sure you can only run white and red

Did they change the laws because you can’t use under glow while driving in California

It depends on the State or jurisdiction.

What about Rainbow, since it transitions colors?

Can't run solid white?

Do you know anything about interior lights

Can you have moving rainbow lights

EVERYONE, sorry but the video information is a little diffrent in CALIFORNIA. He is right about the military base but u can run red white or blue. Only thing is red can not be shown on the front or back. Otherwise everything else it correct KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK

i know this is an old video but are effects legal, like a cycle between different colors?

can you run interior lights on while driving ?

You can use red, just not in the font of your car. If it is on the sides it is perfectly fine.

What about cyan or light blue?

Can I run the rainbow mode?

are these missionaries from latter day saints in the background?

Youre not wrong. But as a graduating law school student i will say asking a cop for legal advice is the stupidest thing one can do.

You can run any color, but they can’t be facing forward, flashing, and the bulbs cant be seen. California also I laws have a candela per sq inch limit

Anyone know the laws of underglow in Texas?

I'm in New York and according to a lot of sources it says I cant use ANY color besides white which doesn't make any sense because white is used on a lot of government vehicles so to all the others in my state Id honestly say wing it and see what happens because I legit have looked everywhere and cant find any source online that sounds legit.
